Heritage: Carl F. H. Henry on Scripture

... Reliance upon Scripture to reveal the saviourhood and lordship of Jesus Christ, and his plan and purpose for mankind, is more than the first tenet of authentic Baptist belief; it is the foundation stone for the other principles which, if unsettled, jeopardize the total Baptist spiritual structure. Baptist distinctives of rebirth, of resolution, of resource are fixed in the confidence that the New Testament revelation is the climax of divine disclosure.
